---

To make dried flowers, it is generally necessary to cut them before they bloom, which facilitates drying when they are fully open. Flowers can be hung upside down on a drying rack with a rope, and then placed in a vase after drying. You can also clamp the flower with paper, put it in a book, close it, press it dry and put it in the picture frame. If you use desiccant, silica gel powder or microwave, you can make the flowers dry faster.

1. Time to cut flowers

In order to ensure better quality of dried flowers, they are generally cut off before the flowers are fully opened. Put it in a dark, dry place to dry to avoid fading due to sunlight. If it is a bouquet of cut flowers, they need to be dried as soon as possible to avoid discoloration of the petals due to oxidation.

1. Suspension: Generally, if you make it at home, you can tie the branches of the flowers with threads. Then hang it on the drying rack so that it is a certain height above the ground. The hanging method takes several weeks for the flowers to completely dry, during which time the petals may fall off. The advantage of this method is that it can maintain the shape of the flower and facilitate display in the bottle.

2. Embossing: After cutting the flowers Lay it flat on the paper, cover it with another piece of paper, and place it in a thicker book. After closing the book, you can press something on top. The advantage of the embossing method is that it saves space, but the flowers are easily deformed and are not suitable for some double-petaled flowers. The pressed dried flowers can be stored in a picture frame.

3. Microwave: Microwave flowers cannot have stems. After placing them on a plate, cover the surface with a mixture of quartz sand and corn flour. Then heat it in the microwave. After 1-2 minutes, the flowers will be basically dry. The advantage of microwave is that it saves time and can dry flowers quickly, but the dried flowers lose their stems and have less effect.

4. Desiccant: remove the cut flowers Dry the dew, then put it into a glass bottle and pour in the desiccant. The desiccant should cover the flowers, but not too much to avoid damaging the flower shape. It can be dried in about a week, which is a relatively quick and convenient method of drying flowers.

5. Silica gel powder: The method of using silica gel powder is the same as that of desiccant. You also put the flowers into a glass bottle and use it to submerge the flowers.
